Welcome back to SALAD SEASON, where I show you how to make the best salads in town.

For EPISODE 10, we’ve made a CRISPY SMASHED POTATO SALAD. Now I love the classic potato salad, but smashing then roasting until crispy + golden takes things to the next level. Especially as we move into the autumn months 🍂

My full recipe can be found below - enjoy! And let me know if you give it a go 👇

INGREDIENTS (serves 4 as side)

750g baby new potatoes

Seasoning mix: 1tbsp each chicken + piri piri seasoning (I use @cornishseasalt or use smoked paprika + garlic powder)

3 tbsp mayo (I use @hellmannsuk plant-based)

3 tbsp greek style yoghurt (I use @coconutcollab)

1 lemon

1 garlic clove

2 tbsp each: pickled gherkins, cucumber, red onion, chives + dill

Salt

Pepper

Olive oil

Arahan

Place your potatoes in a pot of cold, salted water. Bring to the boil, then simmer until fork tender (25-30 minutes). Meanwhile, pre-heat your oven to 200 degrees celcius.

Whilst the potatoes boil, make the dressing. In a mixing bowl, combine mayo, yoghurt, lemon juice + garlic. Then finely dice the gherkins, cucumber, onion, chives + dill, adding to the bowl. Mix well to combine, then season to taste with salt + pepper. Leave to sit in the fridge until serving.

Once the potatoes are fork tender, allow to steam dry completely. Then, on a large lined baking tray, place + flatten the potatoes with the bottom of a glass - being careful not to overcrowd.

Sprinkle with your seasonings of choice, then drizzle generously with olive oil. Roast for 30-45 minutes, turning half-way, until completely crisp + golden. You may need to add a splash more oil if required. You could also probably do this in an airfryer - but might require some experimentation!

Allow the potatoes to cool once cooked, then in a large mixing bowl spoon 1/2 the dressing. Pour in the potatoes, then mix carefully to fully coat. Add more dressing as required, then I like to finish with more fresh herbs. Serve as a side, or simply enjoy!
